What is the temperature of a star having maximum emission at `lamda_(max)=4800Å`, if for the sun, the surface temperature is 6000 K and the maximum emission is at `lamda_(m)=5000Å`.

A

5500 K

B

5800 K

C

6100 K

D

6250 K

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`(lamda_(1)max)T_(1)=(lamda_(2)max)T_(2)`
`therefore5000xx10^(-10)xx6000=4800xx10^(-10)xxT_(2)`
`thereforeT_(2)=6250K`
